Let’s call a spade a spade. The trend in the recent Sarawak state election and twin by-elections (Sungai Besar in the state of Selangor and Kuala Kangsar in the state of Perak), just concluded over the weekend, is going to replicate itself throughout the country. Prime Minister Najib Razak is going to lead BN for […]
... written on Jun 19 2016Russians might love their President Vladimir Putin, who enjoyed consistently high rankings. Last year in June, Putin’s approval rate was at record-high of 89%, despite economic challenge due to tumbling currency ruble and oil price. But it’s a different story altogether with the Russian prime minister, who assumed office since 2012. When Russian Prime Minister […]
... written on Jun 09 2016Sungai Besar and Kuala Kangsar by-elections are set for multi-cornered fights, as expected. It appears Pakatan Harapan (Hope’s Pact) consisting of DAP, PKR and Amanah political parties is not as screw up as it had been during the recent Sarawak state election. Well, at least PKR who had clashed with DAP and was initially gung-ho […]
... written on Jun 06 2016Brexit – British exit from EU – is very real and could happen after a referendum on June 23, roughly 3 weeks away. Unlike a referendum on Scottish independence which took place on 18 September 2014, the Brexit is different simply because the Kingdom of Scotland and the Kingdom of England have been united since 1603, while […]
... written on Jun 03 2016Mention Brunei and a country ruled by an absolute monarchist come to mind. Hassanah Bolkiah, the country’s 29th Sultan, is notorious for his fortune – estimated at US$20 billion as of 2008 (according to Forbes). He was once the world’s richest man but despite his brother Prince Jefri’s pilfering US$15 billion from sultanate, and the plunging […]
... written on Jun 01 2016As predicted, Islamic political party PAS has unleashed it’s WMD – Weapon of Mass Distraction – after the Sarawak state election but before the coming by-elections in Sungai Besar and Kuala Kangsar. If you’re a Chinese or a Christian, are you furious that not only PAS supremo Hadi Awang presents his Hudud Bill, but he […]
... written on May 28 2016On June 23, 2016, Britons will decide whether to leave the European Union (EU) or stay. Ahead of the UK referendum, however, fear mongers have been trumpeting the reasons (or rather myths) on why people should stay, or leave. Due to differences in “Brexit”, once-good-friends Boris Johnson and David Cameron have now turned on each […]
... written on May 24 2016Azmin Ali, the deputy president of Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR – People’s Justice Party) is the last person on planet Earth you should trust. An ex-UMNO, he’s a two-headed snake that cannot be trusted. In fact, he’s more venomous than Islamic party PAS’ President Abdul Hadi Awang. If both are snakes, then Azmin is a […]
... written on May 23 2016Opposition parties lost last week’s Sarawak state election. One of the major reasons was due to clashes between DAP and PKR. Therefore, DAP and PKR must hug, kiss and make love, and must not fight like two spoilt kids anymore. Together with AMANAH, a splinter party of Islamic party PAS, the threesomes’ relationship would be […]
... written on May 12 2016As expected, the Sarawakians have shown Pakatan Harapan (Coalition of Hope) what they will get for being arrogant and disunited. It is a punishment well deserved for not only DAP and PKR, but also to other political parties from Peninsula Malaysia trying their luck on the perceived “ignorant and gullible” 1,109,795 eligible Sarawakian voters. Five […]
